Paris mayor calls for ban on black feminist festival

The mayor doesn't seem to think that the sexist side of it is worth challenging though?

Indeed. I think women (and men) only events are not rare and possibly desirable in some cases, although not for religious reasons I hasten to add
e.g. segregation of girls in schools. The mayors position was based on the fact that whites were excluded from the black-only events.

Personal opinion,and nothing more, but I think with the climate at the moment in some parts of Europe, statements saying that different
races/religions are discriminating against the 'indigenous' population are made for a very clear purpose.

You will recall that it was you that replied to me in what was an apparent rebuke to a light hearted comment that I, an anonymous person, made. If
you do not wish to continue with this conversation, simply cease replying.
